Hi all,
Annoying issue.. my ThinkPad T61 has an iwl4965 wireless card. When I have the wireless switch on, I experience a lot of issues.. system keeps freezing..unfreezing..freezing..etc.
Sometimes, a soft lockup is logged to /var/log/messages.
psmouse.c also sometimes throws an error saying the mouse lost synchronization.
Obviously, this is causing the system to freeze for a sec and throws everything off.
This is the case with both iwl4965-firmware ver 228.57.1.21 and 228.57.2.23.
Any suggestions? I am not able to use my wifi :(
Other info:
CentOS 5.3 - 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 (also happens with 2.6.18-128.el5) x86_64
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Ryan

There is an updated firmware available:
http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/x86_64/RPMS/iwl4965-firmware-228.61.2.24-...
although I'm not sure it will particularly help with your issue.

Thanks.. however there is no difference with the newer version unfortunately.
